Encourage your children to get moving
February 16, 2007

The increase of childhood obesity in America has generated a lot of concern among parents who wonder how they can help instill healthy habits and keep their children fit.

There is an excellent article in a recent issue of the East Bay Newspapers that discusses this issue in detail and offers ideas for helping your children to become more physically active. A copy of this aticle can also be found at the Barrington Fitness website
